7.2 Transaxle Motor
7.2. Transaxle Drive Motor
•Drive motor, axle and differential are a single unit.
•The wheel drive is nearly maintenance-free. Check the
carbon brushes of the drive motor at regular intervals
during maintenance Carbon brushes are worn if the
scroll spring applying the carbon brushes to the
armature, is approx. 1mm away from the guide. Contact of
the spring and the guide must be avoided since otherwise
the armature can be damaged Before the check remove
battery and battery tray from the machine.
The thermal switch of the drive motor is integrated in the motor and cannot be
replaced. Such switches are NC (normally closed) switches which interrupt the
circuit, if the motor temperature exceeds the limit. The thermal switch is
connected to the control board at A1.X9:2+8.
